Item ID: 382082
Item Description
A vintage, circa 1950, rocking horse from one of Switzerland's most famous, industrial toy manufacturer, Wisa Gloria. The rocking horse or "Schaukelpferd" is distinct as its pure, near abstract sculptureal design appears to have been influenced by the work of another Swiss toy designer, Antonio Vitali. The riding toy has a rustic charm created by the lines of the mid-century art and design movement. The toys of Wisa Gloria are collected by parents as they are nostalgic yet pedagogically interesting for children. Children continue to love Wisa Gloria toys as they are what toys should be, fun to play with. Overall measurements are: 23 x 38.9 x 12.9 inches. There is some patina to wood from play and there is a tear in the "saddle".
